How to prepare for marriage 24 hours before the wedding?
“To get married is not a trouble, the trouble is to miss one’s true partner,” - says the popular wisdom. Of course, it is never so pessimistic in reality. However, there is a fair amount of common sense in this expression. Well, marriage is unlikely considered as a trouble. However, people can get bogged down in the abyss of everyday difficulties, as well as fail to adapt to the character of their partner and, in the end, can be disappointed in family life.
To prevent a sad proverb from becoming the outcome of one’s marriage, one need to prepare for marriage ahead of time. In an ideal world, the qualities necessary for a happy marriage are cultivated in a girl from the first years of her life. Then by adulthood she will be fully prepared. A submissive, sweet, wise girl, who knows how to cook well and support any conversation. Such a woman will definitely not be wasteful.
But, unfortunately, the reality is not so good. It also happens that these cherished feminine qualities are not manifested in any way in our daughters, and, instead of learning how to cook, they are eager to graduate from medical school and write a dissertation. Or maybe the parents deliberately do not cultivate in their girls the desire to get married and become an ideal wife, but set them up on the path up the high career ladder.
There is another option: we received proper guidance from mother and father and we know how to cook and seem to be ready for marriage, but our hearts are still restless, it seems that the cherished day will come and all our knowledge, culinary abilities and other talents will evaporate.
So, no matter in what category you consider yourself to be: a diligent student, a young business woman or ordinary cute girl, doubting for marriage, sooner or later the day will come when there will be 24 hours left for your wedding. And while your mother, trembling in her hands, is sorting out your precious dowry, the aunts with their nerves stretched like strings will check whether all relatives have been invited to the banquet, and the sisters are frantically refining the details of your outfit, you will get this article and read it... and, if God wills, you will feel better.
1. Do not be afraid!
Being married is, at most, pleasant, not scary. Only the obstinate, lazy, rude and evil “waste” in marriage. And we are sure that you do not have any of these qualities. Perhaps 99% of girls before the wedding day do not sleep at night, furtively wipe away their tears and are afraid of the uncertainty that lies ahead. Well, if you cannot sleep, do not waste time running your thoughts in your head, but rather take a bath, perform two rak’ah prayers and turn to God the Most High with a prayer that a happy family life awaits you.
2. You are an excellent hostess!
If it is not true, then you will definitely become it, if there is the will. Believe me, there is no disaster if you have not finished cooking courses or do not know how to do a general cleaning at home in 60 minutes. Everything comes with experience. Do not be afraid to experiment in the kitchen (only without fanaticism), ask for advice (more often from your beloved mother-in-law), do not be lazy (no one likes the lazy), and you can find answers to any questions about cleaning and cooking on the Internet (YouTube will help you).
3. Do not be overconfident!
That is the other extreme, which modern brides take. A girl who received two higher degrees and worked as a top manager in a large company thinks that the advice of her new mother-in-law is of no use to her and, if she makes a remark to her, then it is all over. Perhaps you were raised at home as the heir to the royal throne, but if there is only 24 hours left before your wedding, it is time to take off the crown. Arrogance and excessive self-confidence can forever ruin the attitude of new relatives towards you, no matter how smart and beautiful you are.
4. Learn obedience!
This is a fundamental quality of a happy marriage. If there will be no obedience - there will be nothing. Even if this quality has never been characteristic of you, you must learn it. Trust me, it is not so hard as it seems. If you love God the Most High and want to get in Paradise, remember the simple algorithm: husband = contentment = humility = Paradise.
5. Enter family life with an open mind.
Be open to changes, work on yourself, overcome difficulties, master new knowledge. Let your heart become a full-flowing source of love for a person who, by the will of God the Most High, became your husband, your personal key to Paradise.
May God the Almighty help us to be the best wives for our husbands! I wish family happiness to everyone!
